Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262197MG is a Pro Plus rear disc brake kit for Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) Bearing housing ends. It uses a 6P caliper finished in Monster Green on a 14 inch two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor, with the D0731 pad type.
The backing plate both carries the caliper and houses a 1-piece park brake shoe assembly, so the parking brake comes built into the rear system. Baer’s template for this kit is Q082P, the reference for checking wheel fit on an 18 inch or larger wheel.
Key features
- 6-piston 6P caliper, machined from forged or billet aluminum sourced in the USA.
- Powder coated Monster Green finish on the caliper.
- Stainless pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips.
- Staggered piston arrangement intended to even out pad wear.
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure.
- Rotor with billet aluminum hat and a zinc-plated, slotted, drilled surface, installed with NAS high grade stainless hardware.
- The brake hose is DOT approved, and braided hoses and hardware are included.
- The 14 inch rotors suit most wheels 18 inch or larger.
Pads and wear checks
Rear disc brakes do most of their work through the pads and rotor surface, so pad material and rotor condition shape how the system feels over time. Inspect pads for uneven wear at each service interval, and look for scoring, heat cracks or a raised lip at the rotor edge. Replace pads before the backing material reaches the rotor, since metal contact can damage a rotor that otherwise has life left.
Because the park brake shoes sit inside the backing plate on this kit, check their adjustment and cable routing whenever the rear brakes are serviced. A parking brake that drags or fails to hold on a slope often points to adjustment rather than worn friction material. Keep brake fluid fresh and inspect the braided hoses for chafing or bulges.
- Check pad thickness and wear pattern at every brake service
- Look for rotor scoring, cracking or a raised edge
- Confirm park brake cable routing stays clear of moving parts
- Replace braided hoses that show chafing, bulges or leaks
